VICTORIA – First-hand experiences of those who served in the Vietnam War are sought for use during the Vietnam Experience Conference, a two-day conference featuring six panels of presenters.

The conference will be held June 13-14 in Victoria.

Oral histories are sought from a variety of people who lived during that time - combat veterans, military nurses, protesters on the homefront and young people who remember seeing their parents go off to war, according to Dr. Beverly Tomek, conference chair.
